let's look at this. the president said it will be tough and he'll need the support of republicans and democrats who hold wide ranging views on guns and gun ownership. let's listen to the president. >> we're going to need voices in those areas and those congressional districts where the tradition of gun ownership is strong to spoke up. ask your member of congress if they support universal background checks to keep guns out of the wrong hands. ask if they support a ban on high capacity magazines and military style weapons. and if they say no, ask them why not. ask them what's more important? doing whatever it takes to get a "a" grade from the gun lobby that funds their campaigns or giving parents some peace of mind when they drop their child off for first grade. >> speaking of which the nra responded to the action plan today by saying in part, we look forward to working with congress on a bipartisan basis to find real solutions to protecting america's most valuable asset, our children. attacking firearms a
